  Re: unofficial new primitive -- "Rounded Corner"
 
(...) Yah, that would be the thing to do: send it to partsref@home.com. (...) I'm planning on using it in the skeleton leg, and maybe retro-fitting it into the minifig torso.[1] (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: parts available?
 
(...) hiya! (...) I'm not sure if you mean you want to create the LEGO sets in MLCAD, or you're using pieces from those sets for your own creations. If it's the former, there's already a version of the 8448 posted to lugnet.cad.dat.models. Steve (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Yet another Part name and number wanted ;-)
 
(...) Maybe that's what *you* see. I see a plant piece. I wonder what most people notice? (...) They really should be in a "Wings and Fins" area. ;) Sure, this leaf-piece can be accurately described as a "Brick 1 x 1 Round with 3 Leaves". As you (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: unofficial new primitive -- "Rounded Corner"
 
(...) There's a primitives group who decides if the primitive should be accepted or not (it's been a while since we last discussed anything so I don't know if it's still active). I don't have the list of members in this computer so I think the best (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Again about my programs EMF9X and ELL9X
 
(...) I tried the minifig builder, but didn't test it very thoroughly. The Help buttons do not display the help files. It is a basic starting point. I agree with the need for dropdownboxes for colors and dat-files which are populated dynamically (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Tubing
 
(...) This one is somewhat tricky. Not only is the tube curved -- it is also somewhat "fatter" in the ends, because it is put onto some thin cylindrical elements. If you overlook the "fat" ends, you can use a tool I've made to model a curved hose in (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Again about my programs EMF9X and ELL9X
 
I have installed it in a different dir. Now I cannot use it. Pressing buttons gives errors. It could work out, this program, if you fix the bugs and create a more usefull userinterface. For instance dropdownboxes for colors and dat-file models. (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: unofficial new primitive -- "Rounded Corner"
 
(...) You mean you've managed to add the type 5 lines ? [snip] (...) To me, it's a special kind of sphere, so what fo you all think of 1-8sph-c.dat (standing for 1/8 of a sphere, cut of to fit in a corner) Greatings, M. Moolhuysen. (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Test version of LDraw Add-On Installation
 
I've finally put together an installation package for LDAO that should be safe. But it needs some more testing, before I publish it generally. Would someone be willing to try this out, and verify that it works? The test copy is at: (URL) Just (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)  
 
  Tubing
 
Can anyone tell me how to generate in LEdit or POV-Ray the tubing found in the Hydronauts set #6150? Travis Dickinson (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: Resizing - MLCAD/Ledit
 
1) Open your POV-RAY file. 2) Look in the Upper-Left corner/section. 3) It says [160x120, NoAA] or some other resolution. 4) Click on that. 5) Pick the resolution from the drop-down list/menu. Hope this helps. ;-) (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Resizing - MLCAD/Ledit
 
I have just done my first Pov-Ray rendering using LP3. It has turned out nicely except for the fact that it is very small. Can I increase the size of the model in MLCAD/Ledit? Can I increase the size of the model in POV-RAY? Thanks Carl Watson (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  Re: unofficial new primitive -- "Rounded Corner"
 
(...) Yup. (...) Go for it. :-) Also, if needed, please feel free to copy the image(s) for illustrating what this primitive is for. Franklin (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

  Re: unofficial new primitive -- "Rounded Corner"
 
Ooo, cool. That means each of the colored faces in your image is a 1-4disc.dat, right? That'll work very nicely. I'll forward this to the primitives committee. Do you mind if I use it in the skeleton leg file? Steve (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
 
  Re: unofficial new primitive -- "Rounded Corner"
 
(...) UPDATE! It _is_ part of a sphere, I just realized, a sphere having a radius of "the square root of 2"! This primitive is one octant of that sphere with three faces "planed/smoothed off" so that the resulting object will fit inside a cube (...)

  Re: unofficial new primitive -- "Rounded Corner"
 
It is not part of a sphere. It can be thought of as a virtual cube which has had one corner sliced away in a curved fashion. Or to put it another way, it is the grey area in this image: "(URL) radii are "1", and its angles are 90 degrees (i.e., 1/4 (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
 
  Re: part number for "Animal Cattlehorn" and "Minifig Accessory Islander Crest"
 
ACK!! Brain cramp, brain cramp! :-P I meant to say "6029a.dat" and "6029b.dat", respectively. That's "6", not "8". Really.... Thanks, Franklin (...) ===== Franklin Cain (and please do *not* call me "Frank" ;-) fwcain@yahoo.com | (URL) OR (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
